As a new Computing Scholar in the summer of 2019, I considered myself a reasonably strong programmer, but I knew I lacked experience with industry standards such as version control, continuous integration, and documentation. While working at the Lab, I finally got hands on experience using Git, Elastic tools for monitoring and security, and I learned how to write and deploy Docker containers. While I'm proud of those accomplishments, I should mention I didn't come into the Lab with any of those skills already acquired.

I have interned at the lab for the past two summers, so this will be my third summer here! Ever since my first summer here, I have felt very supported. My first summer, I interned in DTED and worked on the proof-of-concept of an experiment that would eventually fly on a sounding rocket the next year. The next summer, I supported a project in MED where we used microspheres to detect different gaseous environments. This summer, I am interning in CED and working on NIF diagnostics.

I would say that there is probably no better place to do a summer internship in science than LLNL. Here I work alongside scientists with great dedication and passion in pushing research frontiers. At the same time, I know that my work on nuclear fusion can contribute to the future of America’s clean energy. That gives me much motivation to work hard and a sense of pride!
